School Uniform and Sports Kit

The purposes behind our uniform policy are:

to promote a positive school image;
to encourage self-esteem in pupils by reducing competitive dressing;
to prepare pupils for the expectations of employers with regard to standards of dress.

Summer Headwear

Baseball caps are not permitted to be worn in school without the permission of the Headteacher, e.g. trips out of school in the summer. The school’s Governors agreed that baseball caps should not be part of the school’s uniform, but appropriate headwear in keeping with advice from the NHS is permissible, e.g. a hat with a wide rim all the way round protecting the nose, ears and the back of the neck.
